    Bruce...

    “There are zero commercial prospects and good for him,” one top attendee told me this afternoon, saying it’s a bizarre mix of Ayn Rand, Metropolis, and Caligula. “It’s unflinching in how bat**** crazy it is.”

    Here’s a more detailed summary from the screening, and yes, at one point the movie “came alive” with an actor standing in front of the screen. I won’t ruin the climactic sequence with Jon Voight and Aubrey Plaza, but two separate sources told me unprompted it was one of the most baffling they’ve ever seen.

    It’s a bummer, but that doesn’t mean Megalopolis won’t find a distributor—or even fans. Neon picked up U.S. rights to Michael Mann’s nine-figure Ferrari for pretty cheap when others passed, or maybe David Zaslav will make Warner Bros. release it so he can dine with Coppola at the Polo Lounge. But everyone I talked to agreed this is gonna be a tough sell.

    Predeterminado Re: Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024)

    De Deadline. Esta vez son impresiones personales de quién firma el artículo, y cuenta más cosas en exclusiva. Al final suelta la bomba: Coppola le ha dicho que no tiene intención de que esta sea su última película, afirmando haber empezado a trabajar ya en un nuevo proyecto, que no será nada barato.

    Some 20 years after it took root in the imagination of Francis Ford Coppola, Megalopolis screened this morning for the very first time. Held at the Universal CityWalk IMAX Theater, the epic film screened for buyers, and had every distributor in attendance. Also in tow were family friends and filmmakers, a list that included Angelica Huston, Nicolas Cage, Andy Garcia, Spike Jonze, Al Pacino, Jon Favreau, Colleen Camp, Roger Corman, Darren Aronofsky, Cailee Spaeny and cast members Shia LaBeouf and Talia Shire.

    I was there also, and what can I say about the movie when I promised Coppola I would not do anything approximating a review? Coppola’s new film is crackling with ideas that fuse the past with the future, with an epic and highly visual fable that plays perfectly on an IMAX screen. He covers complex themes in a remarkably brief two hours and 13 minutes, not including credits. The destruction of a New York City-like metropolis after an accident brings clashing visions of the future. On one side is an ambitious architectural idealist Cesar (Adam Driver). On the other is his sworn enemy, city Mayor Frank Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito). The debate becomes whether to embrace the future and build a utopia with renewable materials, or take a business-as-usual rebuild strategy, replete with corruption and power brokering. In between their struggle is the mayor’s socialite daughter Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel), a restless young woman who grew up around power and is looking for meaning in her life.



    It is not coincidental that the names come straight out of the Roman Empire. A filmmaker who as a child was stricken by polio, and watched the Jonas Salk vaccine eradicate that awful disease, Coppola delivers a big kiss to the possibilities of mankind’s ingenuity to adapt to and overcome most problems. He also injects a cautionary tale of what can happens when that rise to the occasion human spirit runs afoul of the greed, corruption and narcissism that helped topple the Roman Empire. The clash could not be more timely in an election year and a moment of heightened polarization and misinformation meant to spread agendas, sway the public and influence policy. The film’s illustrious cast also includes Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Chloe Fineman, Kathryn Hunter, Dustin Hoffman, D.B., Sweeney, Jason Schwartzman, Baily Ives, Grace Vanderwaal and James Remar. They are all remarkably good in bringing a complex tapestry to life.



    Before the screening, Coppola delivered a mission statement of sorts which you can read if you expand the featured image above, or find it right here.

    Dear Friends,

    As heard from me before: “I believe in America.”

    If I could leave you with one thought after you see my new film, it would be this: Our founders borrowed a Constitution, Roman Law, and Senate for their revolutionary government without a king, so American History could neither have taken place nor succeed as it did without classical learning to guide it.”

    I visited Coppola on the Atlanta set of Megalopolis one night, and there was a similar feeling of appreciation for one of the greatest living filmmakers. That night, as Coppola emerged from his Silverfish trailer, the crowd around him parted like he was General Patton, the subject of the script that won Coppola his first Oscar. There was magic in the chilly night air as he filmed scenes of anarchy, with Mike Figgis shooting a documentary about the making of the film, and a scruffy looking Jack Black sitting just out of camera shot in shorts on a beach chair. He was not in the film, but just showed up most nights to watch Coppola work. The crowd at CityWalk also massed in anticipation that this was somehow going to be a special film. Among those I spotted were Tom Rothman, Ted Sarandos, Pam Abdy, Mary Parent, Matt Greenstein, David Greenbaum, Donna Langley, Courtenay Valenti, Daria Cercek and Marc Weinstock, and Michael Barker.

    All were effusive as they crowded around Coppola following the touching finale. Well wishers included his son, Roman Coppola (the film’s second united director), and his sister Talia Shire, who embraced her brother as the credits rolled and said simply, “You did it.”




    Now it is up to Coppola’s longtime attorney Barry Hirsch (a producer on the film) to help Coppola find a distribution partner to bring the film to a wide theatrical audience. While Cannes and fall festivals like Venice, Telluride and Toronto are knocking, Coppola and Hirsch won’t make a final decision where to debut the film until that distribution partner is secured and a firm rollout plan is put in place.

    In many ways, this replicates Apocalypse Now, which Coppola said has made a fortune over 50 years because of his ownership, something that happened because no one believed in the film the way he did. He financed the whole $120 million Megalopolis cost by securing a credit line when he sold part of his vineyard holdings. He likes owning his films and betting on himself. Coppola brought Apocalypse Now to Cannes as a work in progress, and his vision was validated when he shared the Palme d’Or and the film went on to become a classic. His hope for Megalopolis is that its themes resonate long after it leaves theaters, and that audiences will watch it over and over and get different things from it each time, as humanity grapples with an eroding planet and global warming.




    He took the first step toward that goal today. If you look back at the prescience he has shown with his films, like the way his 1969 film The Rain People presaged the women’s liberation movement to tell the story of a pregnant woman who rejects marriage to take control of her destiny, or the onset of living in a surveillance world in The Conversation, Coppola has in the past keyed on themes that grow in importance.

    He also prepared long and hard for this journey, writing and re-writing this script, shelving it after 9/11, and then putting together the financing, and losing 75 pounds and keeping off the weight to help his stamina. Coppola, who is 84, also said this will not be his last film, telling me, “One way I knew Megalopolis was finished is that I’ve begun work on a new film. It won’t be cheap by any means, but I don’t know it can be called ‘an epic film.’

    Soon we will see how Megalopolis scored with distributors. Stay tuned.

    Branagh/Doyle, gracias por citar tantas crónicas sobre el pase y la película. Por mi parte, prefiero no leerlos. Me quedo con que la película ha maravillado, pero no quiero tener más detalles. No quiero ir más allá de esto que acabo de leer:

    People asking us if MEGALOPOLIS is "good" or "bad" seek the wrong answers. It does not live in the binary. The fact that it exists is what is most important. It is a defining chapter of a King Lear-scaled madman who conquered his highest mountain and wrote his own destiny. 1/2
    Traducir post

    Coppola remains as defiant & relentless as he was in Vietnam. This film is a defining statement in his legacy as an artist, a cultural act of war in opposition to the monolithic status quo. It is a beautiful miracle it exists because it absolutely should not. Hail to the King.

    Sí, yo lo quiero entender así. La película es como una rara avis, casi un milagro, y de ahí mi primer extracto destacado: no hay que pensar si es buena o mala, simplemente ES, existe y ya está.

    A todo esto, ¿estará en Cannes? el día 11 lo sabremos

    Vamos, como casi todas las suyas fuera de los Padrinos y Dracula (y con matices a nivel de carrera comercial, porque por ejemplo El Padrino II recaudó bastante, pero bastante menos que la original). Todo en orden. La cantidad de reseñas negativas de la conversación y de apocalypse now nunca dejará de asombrarme. Su cine nunca ha sido para todo el mundo.

    Dicho lo cual, yo leo comentarios muy entusiastas también. Mucho. Lo de la palmadita en la espalda me parece pelín excesivo, porque incluso si lo que se está celebrando es el regreso de Coppola después de tantos años, no había necesidad de expresar ciertas alabanzas de la manera en que lo han hecho, ni, sobretodo, de aplaudir varios minutos al final de la proyección.

    En cualquier caso, ni un recibimiento entusiasta ni uno frío es indicativo de la calidad del film, así que esperemos.

    Don, releyéndome parece que te estaba rebatiendo, pero en realidad estoy de acuerdo contigo en el fondo, al menos en lo que respecta al recorrido comercial de la película.

    Pero todo depende de la fuente (obviamente, esto es de perogrullo).

    Por ejemplo, Matt Belloni, periodista que formaba parte de la plantilla del Hollywood Reporter, se centra más en la taquilla, y en la recepción del público mayoritario. Por tanto, sus impresiones eran de esperar.



    Sin embargo los amigos de Beyond Fest, cinefilos impenitentes, o Mike Fleming en su artículo para Deadline (que enlacé aquí), han sido muy entusiastas.


    Yo creo que lo más sensato de momento es lo que ha dicho Jordan Ruimy. Habrá costado 120 millones y tenido un equipo técnico y artístico de primera fila, pero no olvidemos que esto es un proyecto muy personal autofinanciado y realizado al margen del sistema. Esperar un éxito mainstream masivo de este film... bueno, todo es posible, pero a priori no parece lo más sensato. Probablemente esté más cerca de algo como Youth Without Youth (comparten director de fotografía y compositor), pero con abundancia de medios que de algo como El Padrino II o Apocalypse Now (no digamos ya algo como Dracula).


    Pero al final, estas cosas son impredecibles. Lo mismo la película triunfa. Veremos.

    Lo fascinante para mí es que el guión (las versiones que leí, al menos), es magnífico y apasionante, con un historia cautivadora y preciosa... que podría haber funcionado perfectamente con una aproximación totalmente clásica y tradicional.

    Pero por las razones que sean, parece que Coppola ha elegido no optar por ese camino.

    La película se ha proyectado en Londres este pasado miércoles


    Another private screening of “Megalopolis” occurred on Wednesday, this time in London. As far as I can tell, this is just the second time the film has been screened, so far. Le Point’s Phillipe Guedj has a source who attended and sent him this reaction …

    "The film is like Einstein and relativity in 1905, Picasso and Guernica in 1937. Coppola has marked a historic new moment for cinema"

    The more I hear about this film, the more I’m starting to think that maybe Cannes is indeed the best place to premiere it. The above reaction reads like hyperbole, but it’s also not totally unexpected given the previous takes we’ve had on this film.

    There’s also “El Norte” director Gregory Nava weighing on “Megalopolis”. Again, it sounds like hyperbole, but fits in well with everything else we’ve heard (via IndieWire):

    “I feel I was a part of history. ‘Megalopolis’ is a brilliant, visionary masterpiece”, Nava said in a statement to IndieWire about his experience. “I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day but think about ‘Megalopolis’ and feel it’s powerful, uplifting message. Francis has taken cinema to a whole different level — the whole experience was profoundly moving. I still can’t stop thinking about the film and telling everyone I know – they all can’t wait to see it! It will blow people’s minds.”

    As we speak, the film might or might not be premiering at Cannes. It was definitely screened for the festival, but Coppola has said that he’s waiting for a distributor to pick up “Megalopolis” before he officially premieres it anywhere. I say, f*ck it, just bring it to Cannes and polarize the Croisette. This is the exact type of film that can cause a stir of excitement and puzzlement. It will certainly have people talking about it.

    Bruce... ¡BRUCE!. Dame un abrazo o algo.


    Es precioso todo esto, joder. Después de tantos años de mediocridades en el mainstream (lo de siempre, benditas excepciones al margen) desde cuotas ideológicas, pamplinas, comités desnortados y evidente incompetencia a todos los niveles, que venga la vieja guardia autoral a dignificar el medio es cuando menos reconfortante. El lodazal es irrecuperable, no se puede higienizar ni sanear a gran escala (ya es demasiado tarde), pero que quede esa parcelita incólume e incorrupta es muy bonito.

    Si que es precioso, si. Le emociona a uno hasta lo indecible, sobretodo porque -reconozcámoslo- casi nadie daba un duro por Coppola a estas alturas.

    Bruce:

    Coppola made it very clear that he won't sell it to streaming platforms, he wants it in theatres as long as possible. I hope someone has the biggest balls. Buy it. Sell it everywhere. Make it into an event. Guilt people into seeing it. Remind them it's not a movie, it's an experience.

    For some of you who might remember, back in the seventies, major studios were able to sell esoteric art films to the mainstream. The viewers were different, and surely a lot of those people were tricked into seeing avant guarde stuff because of the promise of sex and nudity. But one cannot deny the palpable excitement you feel in ads from that era, demanding you see movies that were bleak, unsettling crowd-displeasers just because you HAD to be a part of that discussion.

    The art of cinema needs to be BROKEN, and it won't happen until large swaths of people see unusual fare en masse.

    Ciertamente. Particularmente, The Immigrant y The Lost City of Z, visual, estetica y tematicamente hablando, son muy Coppolianas.

    Fantásticas películas, por cierto.

    Sí, Lost City of Z y Ad Astra tienen claras reminiscencias de Apocalypse Now. Y sus películas sobre el mundo criminal tienen mucho de El Padrino o La Ley de la Calle, en contra de la mayoría de películas del género de los últimos treinta años, cuyos principales referentes suelen ser Scorsese o De Palma.

    Completamente de acuerdo. Fotográficamente hablando, por ejemplo, The Immigrant es una carta de amor a los segmentos del joven Vito Corleone en el Padrino II.

    Emociona y alegra que un viejo maestro regrese a la batalla y lo haga a lo grande y sin cortarse en medio de un panorama cinematógráfico que no invita al entusiasmo, precisamente. Inmenso respeto ya sólo por eso. Por lo que dicen, Coppola se ha sacado de la manga esta vez una de esas obras a contracorriente que se alternan en su filmografía con otras consideradas como más accesibles (que son las que le convirtieron en un ídolo mainstream para generaciones). Si me preguntaran, en mi inmensa pequeñez yo hubiera preferido una de estas últimas: mejor una obra mítica que una de simple culto. Anyway, ojalá que la cosa sea tan grande como apunta.
